Charlyn and Faefyx take on the first book in Brandon Sanderson’s Mistborn series, “The Final Empire” (originally published as “Mistborn”), in the first of an ongoing series. Tune in for discussions on classism tied to racism, the use of religions and an intriguing magic system in storytelling, and hear Faefyx make probably incorrect predictions for book 2 (they haven’t read it yet).

Show Notes:
Paolo Freire - Pedagogy of the Oppressed Great book, and really short! One of the foundational texts of critical pedagogy; we refer to his description of how an individual oppressor achieves true solidarity with the oppressed, as well as Freire’s description of false generosity, or charity that targets the symptoms of an unjust society, which supports the oppressive system and fails to address the underlying cause of social problems – the oppressive system itself.
Snopes - LBJ Quote on Race "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." – Lyndon B. Johnson
NPR - Is a Placebo a Sham If You Know It's Fake and It Still Works?
Washington Post - Five myths about placebos
Late Thoughts: Avatar
Wikipedia - White Lotus – Apparently, the White Lotus Society was an actual secret society that inspired multiple rebellions in imperial China
Late Thoughts: Hamilton
[Video] Bernadette Banner - Unpacking the Hamilton Costumes: Historical Accuracy?
Late Thoughts: Birds of Prey
Tor - On the Significance of Harley Quinn's Split Lip in Birds of Prey
